European writing (LIT 16)

• Day and time: 2nd Tuesday of the month 10:30 - 11:45
• Length of course: 3 terms. Autumn (3 Weeks), Spring (3 Weeks), Summer (3 Weeks)
• Number of places: 12
• Start date: 14 October 2025
• Description:

  This is a discussion group not a theory group meeting monthly. We allow ourselves to spend time talking about how our lives are affected by our reading. We read recent translations of about 250 pages from or about Europe concentrating mostly but not necessarily exclusively on novels (including detective fiction). We decide together what sort of writings and from what parts of Europe will prompt and satisfy our interests. Do bring your ideas. Our first meeting will discuss Time Shelter by Georgi Gospodinov. This book won the International Booker Prize for 2023. https://www.theguardian.com/books/2022/may/20/time-shelter-by-georgi-gospodinov-review-the-dangers-of-dwelling-in-the-past

• Most of what I know about fiction and poetry I have learned from U3AC groups. I enjoy doing my learning through robust but respectful dialogue.
